Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of coating equipment technology, specifically relating to an anilox roller coating equipment. Background Technology
[0002] There are many coating methods for adhesives, such as slot extrusion coating, comma blade coating, anilox coating, or gravure coating. For anilox coating, the adhesive is typically applied to a reservoir using an anilox roller. The roller's rotation causes the adhesive to rotate and be pressed onto the film, which is then scraped off with a doctor blade. However, existing coating methods, after prolonged use, cause the adhesive to remain in a turbulent state, generating numerous air bubbles. This results in inconsistent solvent evaporation in localized areas, leading to inconsistent viscosity and solids content, ultimately resulting in poor coating uniformity in certain areas. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anilox roller coating equipment to solve the problem that after long-term use, the adhesive will be in a rolling state, eventually leading to poor local coating uniformity.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an anilox roller coating equipment, including: an anilox roller and a pressure roller, wherein the pressure roller is used to press the anilox roller onto the anilox roller, and a scraper is provided on the side of the anilox roller away from the pressure roller.
[0005] Preferably, a scraper glue storage groove is formed between the anilox roller and the scraper.
[0006] Preferably, the adhesive storage tank of the scraper contains adhesive.
[0007] Preferably, a collection trough is provided below the glue storage trough of the scraper.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a plurality of guide rollers, which are used to guide the motion of the anilox roller.
[0009] Preferably, a homogenizing device is provided above the anilox roller.
[0010] Preferably, the homogenizing device is a metal comma knife.
[0011] Preferably, the anilox roller and the pressure roller are on the same horizontal plane.
[0012] Preferably, the anilox roller is provided with a uniformly distributed grid.
[0013] Preferably, the mesh number of the anilox roller is in the range of 20-300 mesh.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This utility model provides an anilox roller coating equipment. A doctor blade adhesive storage tank is formed between the doctor blade and the anilox roller, storing the adhesive in the tank. This reduces the minimum amount of adhesive required for coating and allows for more stable viscosity control of the adhesive. The prepared adhesive solution flows directly into the doctor blade adhesive storage tank, while excess adhesive solution overflows through both sides of the doctor blade. This ensures that the adhesive solution filling the anilox roller is always a fresh solution with stable solid content and viscosity, guaranteeing uniform coating.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the mesh pattern on the coated surface is smoothed by a homogenizing device, making the coated surface smoother and more mirror-like. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0021] In the diagram, 1-anilox roller, 2-pressure roller, 3-scraper, 4-scraper glue storage tank, 5-collection tank, 6-guide roller, 7-homogenization device. Detailed Implementation
[0022] The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, along with the included examples, will make the content of the present invention more readily understood. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In case of any conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.
[0023] In existing technologies such as Figure 3As shown, the pressure roller 2 is above the anilox roller 1, and the doctor blade 3 is on one side of the anilox roller 1. The anilox roller 1 is inside the storage tank. As the anilox roller 1 rotates, it brings the adhesive liquid in the storage tank to the top and is pressed onto the film by the pressure roller 2. Then, the doctor blade 3 scrapes off the excess adhesive liquid. In existing coating methods, after prolonged use, the adhesive liquid will be in a turbulent state, generating a large number of air bubbles. This causes inconsistent solvent evaporation in the adhesive liquid, resulting in inconsistent viscosity and solids content, ultimately leading to poor uniformity of coating in certain areas.
[0024] Therefore, the following are provided: Figure 1-2 The illustrated anilox roller coating apparatus includes: an anilox roller 1 and a pressure roller 2. The pressure roller 2 presses the anilox roller onto the anilox roller 1. A doctor blade 3 is provided on the side of the anilox roller 1 away from the pressure roller 2. The anilox roller 1 and the pressure roller 2 are on the same horizontal plane. The anilox roller 1 has a uniformly distributed grid. The grid number of the anilox roller 1 ranges from 20 to 300 mesh. It also includes several guide rollers 6, which guide the movement of the anilox roller. A homogenizing device 7 is provided above the anilox roller 1. The homogenizing device 7 is a metal comma-shaped blade. The guide rollers 6 cause the film to move from bottom to top between the anilox roller 1 and the pressure roller 2, and the homogenizing device 7 is used to smooth the grid pattern on the coated film surface, making the coated surface smoother.
[0025] A doctor blade adhesive reservoir 4 is formed between the anilox roller 1 and the doctor blade 3. The doctor blade adhesive reservoir 4 contains adhesive. A collection tank 5 is located below the doctor blade adhesive reservoir 4. The film passes between the anilox roller 1 and the pressure roller 2. As the anilox roller 1 rotates, the adhesive liquid in the doctor blade adhesive reservoir 4 flows into the grid of the anilox roller 1 and rotates with it. The pressure roller 2 provides pressure to the film, pressing the adhesive to the film. Excess liquid overflows into the collection tank 5 after passing through both sides of the doctor blade 3, ensuring that the adhesive filling the anilox roller is always a fresh liquid with stable solid content and viscosity, guaranteeing uniform coating. In one embodiment, the doctor blade adhesive reservoir 4 is provided with graduation lines, and the adhesive is manually injected into the doctor blade adhesive reservoir 4 to ensure that the adhesive is within the appropriate range. In another embodiment, the adhesive in the scraper 3 storage tank is automatically dispensed and fed by a dispensing system according to the material volume in the scraper adhesive storage tank 4. The dispensing system is existing technology, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.
[0026] Working principle: The guide roller 6 drives the film to move, passing between the anilox roller 1 and the pressure roller 2. While the anilox roller 1 rotates, the adhesive liquid in the doctor blade's adhesive reservoir 4 flows into the grid of the anilox roller 1 and rotates with it. The pressure roller 2 provides pressure to the film, pressing the adhesive onto the film. After pressing, the film passes through a homogenizing device 7, which smooths the grid pattern on the coated surface, making the coated surface smoother and more mirror-like.
